The Schneider LC3K06P7 is a TeSys K star delta starter — a pre-wired assembly combining three contactors in a single package for reduced-voltage starting of three-phase induction motors. It carries 3 x 3P (3 NO) power poles rated at 6 A in AC-3 utilisation category, meaning it is sized for motor control duty where the contacts make and break load current during starting transitions. The coil is wound for 230 V AC control voltage.
This is a panel-mount component with IP20 finger-safe protection per VDE 0106, so it belongs inside an enclosed cabinet — not exposed to washdown or outdoor conditions. The pre-wired design reduces field wiring time compared to building a star-delta circuit from three separate contactors and interconnecting links. Rated for operation up to 2000 m altitude without derating, and stored between -50 and 80 °C.
Flame Retardance and Compliance Notes
The enclosure material meets V1 flame retardance per UL 94, and also passes Requirement 2 of both NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 — the French railway fire-smoke-toxicity standards. Protective treatment conforms to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016 for environmental resistance. Mechanical robustness is specified for vibration (2 Gn open, 4 Gn closed) and shock (up to 15 Gn on closed contacts, Y and Z axes).
